I contacted the developer and they still can’t fix it. They’re not giving me my money back. They’re blaming the iOS update and want me to install some app that I’m sure it’s not safe to fix the problem. this is one of multiple problems that the app had problems. ### 1/5 — I don’t recommend this game… *2026-01-05* I’ve been playing this game for at least 7 years now, and the app and developer response to problems has gotten progressively worse. In 2019 I paid $32 to get lifetime access to all added/updated packs. Starting in 2023, always at the beginning of the month, the game wouldn’t open or if it did the puzzles would already be completed. In this last year for the last 6months the game crashes every time I go to open it. This last month they been sending updates through Testflight and the game still crashes. What good did it do to pay $32 for lifetime access when I can’t even open the game? And at this stage I can’t get my money back from Apple. The concept is a good one, but it appears that the coders at Borderleap can’t figure out how to fix this game. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for the feedback and glad that you are enjoying the game! Have you tried emailing support@borderleap.com? If so, our apologies if we haven’t gotten back to you yet. If not, please do we are more than happy to talk further over email! ### 3/5 — They remove puzzles even after you paid for them *2025-12-26, version 7.4* This actually is a great puzzle game. However they appear to remove old puzzles without notice even after paying for the full game. I had access to the daily puzzles from years ago and now 8 seemed to have lost them. Poor form to remove features without notice. ### 5/5 — Exceptional service *2025-12-05, version 7.4* I like the challenge of this game and paid for the expansion packs. It’s a great value. These days, I mostly just play the daily challenge puzzle. The December daily puzzles weren’t loading, so I emailed the company to let them know. An actual real person emailed me THE SAME DAY and a new release to fix that bug was released. I dare you to find another game developer who is that responsive!! 10/10 ### 5/5 — App freezing again *2025-12-03, version 7.3.1* I love this game! Play it every day. Unfortunately the last few days I haven’t been able to get it to open. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. ### 1/5 — Daily Puzzle *2025-12-03, version 7.3.1* The game freezes when I try to play the daily puzzle, since yesterday. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and it is still not working. I went ahead and restored purchases since it was saying I needed to, and it has deleted all my past progress from 2018! ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-01, version 7.3.1* I bought the year’s worth but now it’s not working. I tried reloading it, but it took me back to the beginning and is trying to teach me how to play. ### 3/5 — Works once, then dies *2025-08-01, version 7.3* I’m able to install and run the app. I can play through 50 levels fairly quickly. Then I put my phone down to go do something else. When I come back and launch the app, I get the beige background and some music, but that’s it. The game never shows up. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. No idea why I can only run it once. ### 4/5 — Love it, except for one thing *2025-06-07, version 7.3* This is a great game and very cleverly crafted. The massive number of puzzles available for purchase ensures many, many hours of enjoyment. I only have one beef. I wish there was some way to hide the completed puzzle sets so you don’t have to scroll up/down so much. That change would make it a five. ## Frequently asked questions about Alpha Omega ### What is Alpha Omega?
